[CAUT] Pulley keys.

Jim-
You could pull the action, pick up a hand full of keys, steam them and put them back into the piano.
This is a job for the Singer Lazer Steamer.
Pull the keys, put a drop of water on the hole, spray the steam and put it on the frame.

Thanks Hans,
 
These came to us “right out of the box” so it must have been some new guy at the factory. Guess I’ll have to buy a set of .125 (is that right?) pins and start sizing all the new pianos…

Hi Jim,
The holes were drilled consistent at the factory (believe me) but somebody later (maybe even in the factory) removed, pulled the keys the wrong way. I have seen this many times.

Hi Joe,
 
No, the holes aren’t consistent. In fact, if you insert a “CF” tool you see that sometimes the hole is oblong from top to bottom and sometimes it is oblong side to side. I’m not sure what’s happening. 
 
I know how to fix it, I’m just wondering why it is that way, and frankly, our church buys thousands of these and I’m in a position to influence them. 
 
Regards,
Jim

Hi,
Any chance they forgot to chance drill sizes at the factory?
If all are the same oversize this seems like a posibility.

List, (especially Don M.)
 
We just bought 9 new UST7s and all the keys are pulley! Not a huge amount, but not acceptable. I wanted to size them but the pins are smaller than what I have on hand. (.125 ??)  However, just to let you know how big the holes were some of the Yamaha pins would fit (.137)
 
My question is, has anyone else noticed this, and am I being too nitpicky. (since this is only a vertical for heaven’s sakes…) Does this amount of “pully-ness” really make that much of a difference in an upright used mainly for non majors?
 
Thanks,
